Kannapolis, North Carolina, December 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SNP Therapeutics Inc today announced it will launch a line of prenatal nutrition products to complement its Genate Test, a prenatal genetic screening test. Genate prenatal nutrition will enable women to optimize their nutrition plan based on genetic variations related to nutrient metabolism. This new line of nutritional products was developed by a team led by Ph.D. Steven ZeiselM.D., Ph.D., is committed to providing women with genetics-based precision nutritional solutions before, during and after pregnancy.
Genate will enable mothers to optimize prenatal nutrition based on their personal genetic profile.
“We developed Genate prenatal nutrition because nutritional needs during pregnancy vary from woman to woman,” said. Jon Clay, CEO of SNP Therapeutics. “Much of this difference is due to genetics. With Genate prenatal genetic testing and the new Genate nutrition line, women have powerful new tools to help support their pregnancy nutrition plans.”
Common genetic variants affect nutrient metabolism and increase requirements for certain nutrients, but national recommendations do not take these differences into account. Until now, prenatal nutrition has been one-size-fits-all, leaving women guessing whether they need more of a specific nutrient. Genate eliminates the guesswork by providing women with evidence-based plans tailored to their genetics and nutrition to support their unique needs.
Genate Test uses machine learning algorithms to evaluate 22 functional genes for 325 variants (called SNPs) in one-carbon nutrient pathways that are critical to maternal health and fetal cognitive development. It also identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nine vitamin and mineral metabolism pathways that play key roles in pregnancy. The Genate report provides each client with genetically based nutritional recommendations that address their unique metabolic needs.
Starting with basic prenatal nutritional dietary supplements, Genate Nutrition aims to provide women with a comprehensive base formula. Genate Essential Prenatal is 100% vegan, free of 10 common allergens, third-party tested for purity, and produced in an FDA-inspected cGMP facility. It’s formulated to provide women with 20 key nutrients they need for a healthy pregnancy, including one-carbon nutrients that support fetal cognitive development and probiotics that promote healthy gut flora.
“My research team discovered the importance of one-carbon nutrients and their role in optimal brain development. Appropriate levels of these nutrients during pregnancy are critical for developing stem cells and neurons that are able to form correctly brain and provide cognitive benefits that can be common in school-age children. Many women face genetic challenges that affect how they metabolize the nutrients their developing babies need. These mothers need to know they face these challenges, Genate Prenatal Genetic Testing Can alert mothers and their healthcare providers to their unique circumstances The Genate line of prenatal nutrition products, developed based on our genetic research, will provide mothers with the ability to optimize their prenatal nutrition plan based on their personal genetic profile.” Steven ZeiselM.D., Ph.D.
The Genate line of prenatal nutrition also includes single nutritional supplements, so each client can choose exactly what they need based on their genetic profile. In addition, Genate registered dietitians help women optimize prenatal nutrition by creating customized meal plans based on a woman’s genetics, lifestyle and preferences.
